Screenshots

[Thilock_Dominus]

Hi!

A newbie question: Is it possible to take/make screenshots of Dominions 2? Like pressing a key while in combat and then it takes a picture of it?

Thanks

with best regards

Speaking of screenshots, have anyone of you noticed Kristoffers screenshot of his desktop on the illwinter site?

Only the old standard way. By the way, be sure to try pageUp/pageDown along winth the arrow keys to line up your shot. And spacebar to pause/unpause of course

To take a screen shot (this works in almost any program)
hit the Print Screen button on the upper right of your keyboard
Drop the game (easiest is hitting Ctrl-esc)
open a paint program
use "edit" and "paste" to put the capture into the program
use "file" and "save" to save it as an image

Well I don't read swedish or finnish or norweigish or whatever that language is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Also, his machine's host name isn't much better configured than mine. I'd like to say we have the same prefered OS, but I believe Gnome also works with Solaris.

With so many common points, I wish that made me as good a game designer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

use fraps to take screenshots. www.fraps.com (http://www.fraps.com)

also displays fps and can record ingame-movies if you want.
